Legislative Notes.

from the Charleston q rel
Hon. Dan Lucas is terror
to the Camdenites.
The Camden fellows OF have
the g walk over" they clan d. :
The brains of the Democratic side
of the legislature are on the anti
Camden side.
It's certain that Camden cannot be
returned. The anti-Camden men,
bers can never he reconciled to him.
They will vote for any other Demo-
crat save Camden or one of his kind.
There was a good deal of plain talk
in the joint session on Wednesday
last. The Standard oil monopoly
came in for its full share. Such men
as Lucas and Flournoy know how to
talk right from the shoulder. If Mr..
Camden could have heard the opin-
ions of these excellent men he would
probably have withdrawn from the
contest.
From tho Gdzetie.l
The House agrees that the Prohihi-
ton amendment may be submitted to
vote of the people, by a vote of 55
for, to 10 against. tbs believed that
the Senate's action upon it will also
be favorable.
Correspondence of the Wheeling Register
There are in the House Sc Dem

philosopher, a student and a states

tions his incisive logic, beautifully
expressed, will make him foe ex-
tremely difficult with whom to con-

him the ablcst man upon the floor.
Then there is Col. Chew, who is the
very type of the old Virginia gentle
man. Soldierly in bearing, polished
in manner, and exceedingly attentive
to business.

The construction placed by Pres
idcnt Price on the fifteenth section OF
the Revised Statutes of the United
States. is that it only requires the pres
ence of a majority of each house to
constitute a quorum of the joint as
sembIy, and that majority of such
quorum is sufficient to elect a United
States Senator. Therefore, 4 being
: majority of the Senate, and SO a
majority of the House, Al in, all will
constitute quorum of the joint as
scmbly, and if only that number
should be present "a votes would be
sufficient to elect.

The Young Man efthe Period.
Boston Transcript,


The delicate arrogance OF the society youth of
the period who is spoiled by excessive seeking
was perhaps never carried to a greater extreme
than il was at recent seashore party, where the
ladies were painfully in excess of the gentlemen
lady who was keeping matronly eye upon the
festivities approached languid youth, in a very
highfPiccadilly collar, who stood looking at moth
ing in particular and apparently thinking of less,
and said to him.
"Ob. my dear Mr.. Galley. want to introduce
you to young lady over here
..Ah," said he, raising his hand and toying
affectionatcly with his moustache, point her
out, pleased"
The LADY stood silent and aGhast. This very
superior being proposed to insist upon an OPP
portunity to scrutinize the young la6y's charms
before he consented TO be introduced to her.
..Oh, ah." said he. finally. with slight air OF
apology. observing the lady's stupefaction, you
know I'm making scahcely any acGuaintances this
season."
He did not make the acquaintance of that
young lady that evening. at any rate.

INDIANAPoLIs Aug. 27.
The week closing to-day has been quite busy
in most departments of trade. Business with the
dry goods dealers has not been heavy>-in fact, it
never is at this seasonand there complaints that
the volume of trade thus far in the month has not
equaled that of August of last year. There is
signable cause for the falling off, Up to August the
trade had been much in excess of that for the
responding period last year. but then it dropped off,
and there has been resumption. Despite the high
prices paid for woods last spring there will be
marked advance il any in wooden goods for the

light and heavy-are firm, but not high. The grocers
have had an unusually prosperous week and have

extremely nervous young minister who was
spending his first night in B, at her
house.
This here room is full of sacred associations
to me-" she went on my first husband died in
that bed with his head on them very pliers, and
poor Mr.. links died settin' right in that very
chair there III the corner. Sometimes when
come into the room in the dark think I see him
settn there still.
My own father died layn right on that lounge
under the window Poor pal He speer-
itualist, and he alus said he'd appear 10 this
room again after he died; and sometimes I'm
foolish enough to look for him. If you should
nything of him tonight, you'd better not
tell me; for it'd be q sign to me that there was
something in speeritnalism and I'd hate to think
that.
